Text:

God make my life a little light

1 God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow,--
A little flame that burneth bright
Wherever I may go.

2 God make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy to all,
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small.

3 God make my life a little song
That comforteth the sad,
That helpeth others to be strong
And makes the singer glad.

4 God make my life a little staff,
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what little strength I have
May serve my neighbors best.

5 God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise,
Of faith that never waxeth dim
In all His wondrous ways.
